crushes oxytocin. The hug hormone is literally annihilated by dopamine. We need to find something oxytocin crushes that will then crushes dopamine.
People are addicted to the dopamine hits they get from socializing (likes) or gaming online or betting on sports. Helping people out, that would up the oxytocin, is only a tiny percentage of what goes on online.
The internet and it's podcasts and rage leaders are like the circuses of ancient Rome.

(6,685 posts)3. Trump did better with young women than he did in 2020
The Trump campaign leaned into targeting young men, as the former president publicly palled around with male YouTubers and podcasters, such as Joe Rogan, who make little space for women. This effort paid off: exit polling indicates that there was a canyon-wide 16-point gender gap between young men and women, which is an increase from 2020.
While women between the ages of 18 and 29 preferred Harris 58% to 40%, their male peers chose Trump 56% to 42%. However, compared to his last run, Trump did better with both young men (41% of them voted for him four years ago) and young women (33% in 2020).

Consider all that and what's happening does make sense. That's what needs to be confronted realistically and needs to be defeated if we want to live in a world where things actually make sense.
